Weissenborn Ukulele wanted

Hello.

I'm looking for a vintage Weissenborn ukulele, style 1 or 2. If anyone has won for sale (long shot...) or leads I would be most grateful.

Thanks!
Liam

Well that's a fine search.A Weissenborn uke was my Holy Grail for a few years.
A Style O sold in the last few weeks mis $.CHEAP high $400.00.
Last few years I have seen 10 or 12 mostly style O for sale.They were selling in the low $1000.or so it seems to me.
I will keep my eyes open for you.
Aloha,
Michael

So you found one?

Hello Michael

Sorry, I missed your reply (I don't think I've got my notification settings quite right).

Yes, I think it must by the one you mentioned. It's a lovely uke but needs a bit of work (nothing too serious: loose braces, slight seam separation and general set-up needed) and also has some not-so-good replacement tuners.

It's not the grail for me (that would be a style 2 with the later unique headstock design and ideally still with the celluloid soundhole insert), so I'm still looking. But I will get this fixed up and keep it/play it until the grail can be found. If you know any good restorers I would welcome recommendations.

Thanks!
